Ford EcoBoost® Police Interceptor Dominates Law Enforcement Vehicle Competitors

Ford EcoBoost® Police Interceptor Dominates Law Enforcement Vehicle Competitors
BRIGHTON, Mich - Ford EcoBoost® Police Interceptor dominates the law enforcement vehicle competition for the third year in a row. The Los Angeles Sheriff Department tested the Ford EcoBoost® Interceptor sedan and utility vehicles at the Fontana raceway in California. Both were the fastest in the 0-100 mph acceleration testing and average lap times.

Ford not only remains faster than competitors, but agencies like the Los Angeles Sheriff Department see the benefits of all-wheel drive and EcoBoost. In chase related situations, the ability to put down 365 horsepower is best done by Ford's intelligent all-wheel-drive system. The LASD testing showed that this system improves handling and traction in all driving conditions, including dry-pavement surfaces.

Ford is leading two huge shifts in police vehicle trends with the performance of the Police Interceptor sedan and utility vehicles. One, being the overall preference by police agencies for Ford's intelligent all-wheel drive system and the other being a growing preference for the spacious utility vehicle. Since the launch, sedan sales are up 34 percent in the 2013 calendar year and utility sales are up 142 percent.


The LASD tests were completed while each utility vehicle carried 400 pounds of cargo to simulate real-world conditions. The all-wheel-drive 3.5-liter EcoBoost utility turned a 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds and 0-100 mph time of 18.3 seconds. The Chevrolet Tahoe with a 5.3-liter V8 only turned a 8.5-second 0-60 mph and a 0-100 mph time of 26.4 seconds. Both the Police Interceptor sedan and utility proved to be the fastest in a straight line as well as in average lap times. The EcoBoost sedan was at 81.97 seconds and was 0.9 second faster per average lap than the all-wheel-drive Doge Charger with Hemi V8. The utility (85.58 seconds) is 6.1 seconds faster per average lap than the Chevrolet Tahoe.

The Ford Police Interceptor vehicles are dominating other law enforcement competitors and gaining much attention from law enforcement agencies nationwide. Switching from V8-equipped vehicles to Ford EcoBoost V6 vehicles meets agencies need for speed while simultaneously saving money. To learn more about the Ford Police Interceptor, click here.

2015 Ford Mustang

2015 Ford Mustang
BRIGHTON, Mich. - The moment you've all been waiting for has finally arrived... The official reveal of the 2015 Ford Mustang! The vehicle was available to see in person at events in New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Sydney, Barcelona and Dearborn, MI, but blowing up the internet to be viewed by all the moment it was revealed.

The first thing you need to know about this beauty is that it's been updated substantially. In fact, it's the first full redesign the pony car has seen since 2005. While the vehicle has been given a complete overhaul with a more modern design, Ford has made sure to reflect on the vehicle's past, allowing 50 years of Mustang history to bleed through.

2015 Ford Mustang

Every part of the vehicle's exterior has been taken and reinvented, giving the vehicle smoother lines and a sleeker physique. With 50 years of beautiful heritage, the vehicle gives a slight tip of the hat to its ancestors while keeping things relatively modern and fresh. The headlights are more forward than previous years, while the nose of the vehicle is prominent and proud. The entire cabin has been moved backwards which has resulted in a longer hood. This gives the vehicle a 1964-1965 Mustang fastback look in the rear with backlights that have been narrowed in the wide fender - all of which combines to give the vehicle the beloved muscle car look. The wheels are out 20mm on each side, while the vehicle itself sits lower and wider.

As for which colors will be available on the 2015 Ford Mustang, designers have really stepped up their game with paint and materials. They will continue to offer the core colors of black, white, grey, silver, etc. along with bold colors such as shades of eye-catching red, a brand new yellow, orange, blue. The 2015 pony car will also come in a variety of colors for the sophisticated driver such as a dark green and deeper shade of red and blue.

The interior is where the pony car lover will get lost in luxury. You'll find large round gauges, a double-brow look, a symmetrical instrument panel and premium materials such as real aluminum, leather and metal.  The typical Mustang ball shifter is in place, while the toggle switches and buttons will remind you of being in the cockpit of a plane - and when you're flying down the highway in your new pony car, you'll feel like a pilot.

Under the hood Mustang buyers will have three engines to choose from with an updated version of the current 3.7-liter V6, a 5.0-liter V8 and a brand new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. The V6 will give you 300 HP, but the upgraded V8 will generate an impressive 420 HP. If you want all the power of the Mustang without sacrificing fuel economy, Ford's EcoBoost engine will put out 305 HP and get you better gas mileage - exactly how much better, we aren't sure. Specific EPA estimates of MPG have not been released as of today.

We are so excited for the 2015 Ford Mustang, especially since the iconic car will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. While the 2015 model won't be available for purchase until next year (cost hasn't yet been released), we do have a great selection of 2014 Ford Mustangs on our lot.
